YA Books I'm Excited to Read!

I know I haven't done my Book of the Week in a while, but I'm really into adult books right now. I'll return to YA books soon, though, starting with manga. I'm starting a manga club Monday, June 22 at 2 and I want to be somewhat familiar with it, so I'll start with Naruto and Fruits Basket, the most popular ones at the library. If there are any good manga you can suggest a newbie like me should read, let me know!

Great "Kids'' Graphic Novels

Graphic novels are really popular at my library and I thought about why I haven't read " kids'' ones like Naruto ( above). I like adult, sad graphic novels like Maus, Persepolis, and American Born Chinese because I like sad stories. However, I also think that there's still a stigma I ( and a lot of adults have) towards certain graphic novels, thinking they're for kids. Do any of you read kids or YA graphic novels? Which ones and why?
